In the past, certain individuals were able to delay the challenge match if they had a verified injury. In the past, I think you had to be a defending World/Olympic medalist. (Dake did this with Dieringer; I watched Gutches vs Burton at Fargo) Today, I am not sure of the rules, but they are probably similar. I don't think Snyder would qualify for a delay after not medaling last year, but he doesn't need a delay anyway after the recent reinstatement. And I guess this isn't what you asked, anyway. I just re-read your question. I am not sure of that procedure, but it is too late at this point. My guess is the only way the open runner-up makes Final X is in the case of a drug suspension, which would bump everyone from the open up a place.

"the wingers" "the republicans" "the trumptards" hypocrite.

No. Snyder won the open. He gets the final x spot. That is what the procedures say. Snyder didn't get DQed from his US Open placement, which would have given Aiello some standing. Snyder would be voluntarily forfeiting, and it would be next man up. HZ earned that distinction last weekend.

My understanding is that they are following established procedure. If Snyder were to not give it a go, Zilmer wins by forfeit. Zilmer earned that spot, just as Snyder earned his own spot. If they were to change the established procedure at this point, they would be opening themselves up to litigation and hard feelings from Z. They can change it for next quad (maybe even next year), but my guess is they are stuck with this system for the time being. (I made it through the whole post without saying "withdraws" or "pulls out.")

I applaud you. Hopefully this is past tense and you improve your practices.

It sounds like you are part of the problem. You would rather call them a slur than type a few extra letters. https://glaad.org/fact-sheet-for-reporters-derogatory-slurs-referring-to-transgender-people/

Would you have mourned the 2 million + German civilians killed during WW2?

How mature of you. Making light of someone less fortunates genetic predicament isn't petty at all. Now how do you justify your use of the "tranny" slur that you have used repeatedly?

The PSU gear won't get him any fans in Columbus. He was a tOSU guy for a day because it was advantageous.

Why are you always using ableist and transphobic slurs?

I guess that makes you a "winger!"

And the Iranian gassed worse than Zahid did, if I recall.

I blame both sides to an extent, but: Who has been in charge for 12 of the past 16 years?

John C. Calhoun was a horrible person who was a political giant in the first half of the 19th century. There is much to despise about him, but this 1828 quote sounds eerily familiar: “Our government is deeply disordered; its credit is impaired; its debt increasing; its expenditures extravagant and wasteful; its disbursements without efficient accountability; and its taxes (for duties are but taxes) enormous, unequal, and oppressive to the great producing classes of the country.” - John C. Calhoun I'm not looking at this from a left/right perspective. I'm noting that many Americans were complaining about the same stuff 200 years ago.

Yes its called hyperbole. But it isn't that far off from what was said about the Separatists.
